Who & Why

Riesling is one of the best wines in the world, and we want to prove it. And as always, we have a champagne to celebrate the opening.

This time we have 3 great Rieslings from Rheinhessen and Mosel.

It is amazing how young and fresh the 2015 Rieslings are. The wines have potential and will continue to grow. Ideally, the wines should remain in the cellar for at least another 5 years.

We have a mature red wine from the Kamptal and two great Pinot Noirs.

Today we have 3 powerful Rieslings and a Châteauneuf-du-Pape from 1923.

There is a Riesling and a Cabernet, none of them tastes like its grape variety.

Riesling, White Rioja and Fortified are degustated this time.

After the vacation, we return to old habits and taste great wines.

There is Riesling and wines from France - Bordeaux and Rhone.

Once again, brilliant wines from California and additionally a Mosel Spätlese.

There are ripe Dom Perignon, Karl Erbes and Chapoutier. We still don't know why Karl Erbes hasn't sold out long ago, given its quality and value for money.

A sparkling wine made from Riesling with long yeast aging and a relatively young Champagne offer a very contrasting tasting this time.

Yes, one of the best red wines in Germany really does come from the Moselle, which is actually famous for its Riesling but not for red wine. In preparation for our Piedmont trip, we also drink a Barolo from Aldo Conterno, which is an alternative to the expensive Romirasco.

We are tasting Grand Siecle, Bricco del Drago, Ürziger Würzgarten and a fantastic sweet wine from Martinelli.

Two German Riesling wines, an awesome Chateau Climens and a perfect Barolo from 1971 were the basis for a long evening.

We have the rare opportunity to taste Molitor horizontally: the same vintage, the same vineyard, but all three different degrees of sweetness.

The Riesling wines of Markus Molitor need a lot of time to reach their peak. So, it is better to drink them not to early.

Here we have a mixture of Rhone, Mosel, Rheinhessen and California.

Some German producers are now so good that they are a real alternative for Burgundy.

This time: One of the best German sparklings, two amazing Rieslings, something from a new winery at the Loire and Lopez de Heredia in 3 variants.

Two fine Rieslings from Nahe and Mosel.

Let's have a look at Jean Pernet Champagne, Heymann-Löwenstein Riesling Uhlen R, two great Reds from Burgundy and perhaps the best Red from Austria.

This time: Bubbles from the Mosel (or to be more precise from the Saar) and Riesling from Rheinhessen.

This time we have two Chardonnays from California and Germany and two Rieslings from Germany.

The white wines are from California, Rhone and Mosel. We brought the Nebbiolos back from our Piedmont short trip.

White wine simply goes better on a hot summer evening.

The German Spätburgunder and Pinot Noir is getting better and better and so there is now a large selection of great wines.

We had to taste some new arrivals in our wine cellars. Since there was fish for dinner, we chose white wines.

Four Rieslings from Nahe, Mosel and Rheingau plus Monte Bello Chardonnay resulted in a nice evening. Life is good!

We believe that the Mosel is more suitable for residual sweet wine than for dry wine. In our opinion there are only 5 players who produce really great dry Rieslings: Brohl, Markus Molitor (famous for dry, sweet and also red wines from the Mosel), Von Othegraven and especially Heymann-Löwenstein and Van Volxem. Here we have the best 3 vineyards from Van Volxem: Scharzhofberger Pergentsknopp, Gottesfuss and Kanzemer Altenberg.

Perfect for the dessert we had two fine Mosel sweets with low alcohol (both 7.5%), freshness and a complex sweetness.
